Salt water as the ultimate fuel.
BUMP for later read
sure it’s possible. They are burning something.
Think of a auto engine. It burns gasoline ignited by a spark that is started by a battery that is charged by the engine.
Same thing applies here. The key is how much energy does this produce and how much does it take to get that energy.
I agree...obviously it's not easy, but it can happen. Just look at the internal cubustion engine.
“The laws of physics say it is not possible...”
Now just wait one moment...no decent Democrat EVER met a law tha was’nt bendable somewhere...somehow...lets just leave it to The One now...
Again, not a scientist, but they aren't burning the saltwater. They are breaking the chemical bonds of the saltwater which allows the freed hydrogen and oxygen to catch fire - no doubt a result of the heat that's generated from breaking the chemical bonds. It's taking an extreme amount of energy (RF waves, in this instance), to break the saltwater molecules apart.
This reaction will stop as soon as the RF waves are stopped.
The salt will be sprinkled onto a bowl or peanuts... for the on-board elephant that anchors the ultra light Obamamobile firmly on the road. It is for the children and poor folk, don't ya know!
